    Default Worst "VS" Arguments You've Heard?

    Title says it all: what are the worst rationalizations on a VS argument you have heard? (Doesn't have to be the original argument on the thread.)

    I remember one that said that Itachi (from Naruto) could beat Galactus (Marvel) because of Sharingan.
    Thanks for the awesome avatar goes to Djinn_In_Tonic. Thanks!

    Goku vs. Superman. I just got tired of hearing about it on the Marvel boards.

    And on the DBZ board.

    And on the Comics and Graphic Novels board.

    And on the Cartoons and Animation board.

    And on the Anime and Manga board.

    The cast of Seinfeld could take out the cast of Friends.

    I am not making this up.

    I dunno about that one. The cast of Friends is huge. Seinfeld has the fat guy and boredom going for them though..

    It's not inherently a bad vs., but it was probably ruined by reactionary fanboys on both sides.

    Aside from the sheer repetitiveness of one of the internet's most classic Vs match-ups - Supes is a DC property, not Marvel. This is roughly equivalent to talking about Penny Arcade constantly on the VGCats site, or about Order of the Stick non-stop at a Lord of the Rings fansite.

    I jokingly began a Goku vs Superman debate with one of my roommates once.

    It ended with him telling me that Goku would win because he perceives Goku as winning, and that reality is merely a construct of his own mental faculties, so whatever he believed to be true, was in fact true.

    I then stared open mouthed at him and told him that we would never engage in a debate with one another ever again, as his solipsism cop-out was so amazingly ridiculous, he had effectively gone forward in time and made a dumbass cop out to every single conversation we would ever have in the future.

    There's no contest, Friends all the way. They're younger, there's more of them, and the Seinfeld cast are generally portrayed as being completely useless in a fight, except for Kramer.

    Unless the argument was that Kramer would destroy the whole Friends cast by himself....

    EDIT: Actually Elaine can fight too, but probably only about as well as Phoebe or Monica can, so that's a wash.

    It's not really a terrible argument. Such a confrontation will only ever take place in my mind...so whoever I think will win, will win....As long as he maintains that as his own opinion, and doesn't try to force it on others, it seems fine to me.

    It's a valid way to live life. Just... don't go into an argument with that mindset, since that's not fair to the other participant.

    Pretty interesting in most ways. We just can't have civilized discussions about things we disagree on. Which is a shame, really, as I believe him to be pretty intelligent under all the insanity.

    Basically anything Vs. Necrons. Doesn't matter where you are (though a WH40K-related board/shop/etc. helps with this).

    Not that pitting them against various Sci-Fi forces is necessarily a bad idea, but it always devolves into "C'Tan beat anything and everything ever" even if the initial premise involves "leave the C'Tan out of this."

    Sure, when it's Chaos vs. something nobody seriously contests that Khorne is going to get all up in their business, and when it's Imperium vs. something nobody brings up that maybe the God-Emperor will suddenly wake up and lay waste to everything. Why's the Nightbringer get to settle every skirmish?

    Actually, everything in 40k is like this.

    "The Emperor will wake up/die and be reincarnated, he wins."

    "If the Chaos Gods ever stop infighting and work together, they win."

    "The Tyranids (or maybe the Orks) make up 99% of sentient life in the universe, they win."

    "When the Eldar engineer the right circumstances for Khaine to reform from his Avatars, they win."

    "Gork and Mork the strongest there is! Gork and Mork smash! Orks win."

    I think Seinfeld would win. They are far more sociopathic. And the lives of pretty much everyone they encounter are ruined somehow.

    They'd send those Friends sissies crying all the way back to the Gap.

    Basically, everyone is on the verge of curbstomping everbody (except Tau, those communist pansies), but nobody's every going to win or lose until Games Workshop decides it doesn't like money anymore.

    They wouldn't -win- per se, so much as scuffle and retreat. However, the perpetual aura of bad luck, neurosis, and misery that follows them (quite similar to Dethklok's really, but much less gory) would ensure that none of the Friends would truly be happy again, not without the suffering of other innocent human beings.

    ...

    I miss Seinfeld, is what I'm saying here.

    Actually, Khaine sucks. He got soloed by Slaanesh. Their new goal is to kill themselves so that their psychic death cries awaken their new god.

    What are you talking about? It's a little kid versus a decapitated but very well equipped corpse.
